Ultragroove Presents: Julio Bashmore @ Cabaret Voltaire, 20 Aug

Ultragroove and Julio Bashmore are rooted in house music and both share a common desire to push boundaries and expand on classic four to the floor conventions. Heralding from Bristol, Bashmore's sound is ensconced in bass music, a trait manifested through releases on Dirtybird and 3024. His Batty Knee Dance, released on 3024 earlier this year, features the imploring vocal refrain, “we should get married” and without tempting fate, Cab Vol might well serve as an expedient church/registry office for what could be a harmonious coming together of DJ and Promoter.

The Ultragroove ethos orientates around sets comprising elements of disco, garage and an array of house from deep to chicago. This melange of electonica in synergy with Bashmore's funky bass laden MO means the Ultragroove 'House Odyssey' will be in full festival swing and if you need something more to whet your appetite check out Bashmore's 2011 anthem, Battle for Middle You on PMR records.
